City Council to Consider Final Adoption of Inspector General Legislation
The Atlanta City Council will consider legislation Monday to finalize the creation of the Office of Inspector General (Legislative Reference №19-O-1729). The legislation establishes the roles and responsibilities of the office, creates a structure of governance, and requires the provision of funds necessary for facilities, equipment, and staffing. As a charter amendment, the ordinance requires three reads and two adoptions by the Council. The ordinance received a second read and first adoption during the Council’s meeting on Jan. 21.
The Council will also consider legislation to merge the Office of Human Services and the Office of Grants Management to create the Department of Grants and Community Development (Legislative Reference №20-O-1140). The structure of the new department will be based on five primary areas — grant planning, grant program operations, grant administrative services, grant technical services, and administration support.
Additionally, the Council will consider an ordinance to enter into Amendment №4 of a contract for the management and operation of various tennis centers with Universal Tennis Management to extend the term of the agreement on a month-to-month basis for a period not to exceed six months and to become effective Feb. 11 (Legislative Reference №20-O-1031).
Members of the Council will also present proclamations in honor of Reverend Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons and his wife, Justine Simmons, Melvin Reid, Morris Brown College Day, and Rugby ATL.
